With Clark’s Smart & Simple Pest Defense System, your home is surrounded by an uninterrupted barrier of protection from a variety of troublesome pests. Clark’s professional technicians and regularly scheduled treatments ensure this barrier is in place and working for you all year long.

"1 year experience with Clark’s Pest Control. Initial treatment with quarterly maintenance treatments. And we scheduled additional treatments between quarters due to the bugs that just kept coming. Despite this the bugs never stopped coming. When Clark’s came they would treat only a specific area. So for example they were called out for Argentine Ants by the trash can. They sprayed and they died but very next day the ants moved to dog bowl. Then you would have to reschedule and they would come out to treat that area. They would not do anything but what any homeowner could accomplish with Raid insecticide themselves. During their coverage new German cockroaches showed up we never had prior. How does a home under pest control develop a problem with bugs it didn’t even have before? They offered additional treatments at additional costs. Clarke’s sent an angry young male as our contact person who we declined immediately due to his agitated behavior and suspected mental illness. They sent a replacement who was a supervisor but the majority of the year the contract was under his care and he failed. You really don’t want Clarke’s undereducated male employees prowling around in your house. I wonder if Clark’s or one of their employees are diluting their chemicals to make more money. After I fired them and spoke to other pest control companies, they acknowledged they are aware of many customers with similar stories leaving Clark’s and only from Clark’s. When I cancelled it was easy, they were happy to get rid of customers like me. They just wanted the spray and bill customer and not actually to provide a service. Yes we understand they are a business but this was more like a scam. We had Clark’s provide a termite estimate as well, my termite guy looked at it and just said you know they aren’t even offering you formite Termite protection which is now endemic in my area. I wonder why they did that but I know. He said most people don’t know the difference and the price is lower so it looks good. Clark’s advertises as a family company which they were, but they are not now, they are a business first, second and third. Do not be fooled, they aren’t there to help they’re just they’re to collect your money. Now that we have been with another company for only 1 month, the bugs are gone. I wish we had moved on from Clarke’s along time ago but we didn’t know we were being taken advantage of."

Award winning. Gutter Glove of NC LLC is the premium supplier of gutter protection system in the State of North Carolina. Additional contact names - Richard Stroup, Louis Sauer. Additional phone - (919) 696-8839. Award wining.

"Owner Ricky Stroup was infinitely patient with us, as after our initial meeting it took us over a year to hire his company to do this work. During that year, we had multiple conversations with him regarding the scope of our project, and he was as willing to contract the scope as to expand it. He wrote several proposals for us, so we could see the financial impacts of our different scope options. Our indecision on scope, and delay in scheduling, never caused any frustration or ill will on his part. Mr. Stroup was helpful, friendly, and patient throughout! His team installed everything in one day, and all who worked on our project were extremely courteous and professional. We have been very impressed with the quality of the work. Working with Gutter Glove of North Carolina was an enjoyable experience, and I recommend this company!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience
